    Summary

    “Where are you going?” Grace asks, it takes a while to work up the nerve to.

    “Nowhere.”

    “Huh, guess that makes two of us,” he says, turning to meet Driver's gaze head-on. “I'll race you.”

    Driver's mouth twitches, still not quite a smile. “You'll lose.”
     

    OR: After Denmark, Grace's life is in tatters. Alone, with no direction or plan, he runs away. On the road, he meets a quiet stranger and, against his better judgement, allows himself to be seen, and finds something he'd long since given up on ever feeling again.

    Summary

    "Grace isn't an idiot. He knows Driver's past is muddy. He knows Driver can look after himself and has surely done terrible things to do it. Was probably taught terrible things from a very young age, while Grace's parents were teaching him how to build sand castles and swim.
    But it's just a weekend. And Grace had asked once, weeks ago, if he still has to worry about the sorts of things Driver gets involved with, and Driver had told him no.
    And Grace believed him.
    Clearly, that was his first mistake."

    While Grace goes away for the weekend with Colt and Jody, Driver falls back into old habits. Grace is furious when he gets back — but failed to account for exactly how afraid Driver would be in the face of an angry man.
    Or, as I put on Tumblr, "thinking about how Grace gets loud and aggressive and destructive when he's angry, and Driver was raised in an abusive, violent home."

    Summary

    Blue-eyes across the street was an innocent. What he was doing biking through this part of town this late at night, Driver couldn't know, but the look on his face made it clear that he had never been party to this kind of violence before. Not so close, anyway, not within screaming distance. He was scrawny, taller than Driver but easily subduable. And he was trembling.

    In other words, he wasn't the kind of man that deserved what was coming to him. Most likely he deserved the opposite.

    Or: Driver commits a crime, and Grace is the only witness. Driver gives chase.

    Summary

    Colt didn’t realize that having Driver meant learning to share with a fucking car, but here they are.

    Grease smeared across the long, lean stretch of Driver’s torso, marring the pale skin into a Rorschach. The back bench of the Malibu was thick with the scent of engine oil and polish and sex. The engine thrummed, the smooth purr of it reverberating throughout his entire body. Sprawled out in the backseat, he feels it everywhere, head to toe. The only thing Driver can focus on is the thrum beneath the back cabin seats, the slick clinging to his thighs, the lingering taste of the Malibu on his tongue.

    “Uhm… am I interrupting?” Colt says, lip twitching with the beginnings of a smirk.

    Summary

    "Colt admittedly doesn't know much about Driver, but he does know that he's always on time. Obsessively so.
    In all the movies they've worked on together, all the sets and shooting locations across the state and across the country, Driver is never late. He's usually precisely five minutes early, in fact — a fact it took Colt all too long to put together when he's rarely early enough to see Driver arrive.
    [...] So, sure, Colt doesn't know much about Driver. Still doesn't even know his damn name. But he knows him, a bit. In some handful of ways.
    And he immediately knows something is wrong when he arrives five minutes late to their call time and Driver isn't there."

    Driver's late to set for the first time ever. Colt finds out why when he sees the blood leaking from under Driver's jacket.
